Unique Cornish harbour village
Just east of St Austell and a short distance south of
The Eden Project, the small harbour village of Charlestown is a treat. It's beautiful, extremely well located for a
Cornwall holiday or weekend break and has a fascinating history. In years of researching
South West England, it's up there with our best discoveries.*
The harbour's superb. What sets it apart is its connection to
Charlestown Dock which, in turn, was used to load ships with china clay from the
surrounding area. We'd recommend visiting the wonderful
Charlestown Shipwreck and Heritage Centre to learn more about the local history.
Walk the
South West Coast Path, too.
Local attractions
So, why's the village in such a good location?
The Eden Project's to the north and the
Wheal Martyn China Clay Country Park to the north west,
River Fowey and Estuary to the east and
Mevagissey Harbour to the south. In the area, you can also visit
The Lost Gardens of Heligan and
Caerhays Castle,
Lanhydrock House and Gardens and
The Roseland Peninsula.
Further afield
Further afield, we'd recommend day trips to
Looe and
Newquay, the
Camel Estuary and
St. Ives.
*Others include
Beer in Devon and
West Bay in Dorset.
